The Girl with the Eating Disorder
Stalked by Demons, Guarded by Angels is a firsthand account of living with disordered eating and the associated issues of depression and anxiety. Simone is a mother, musician and would-be writer. She is, in so many ways, an ordinary woman leading an ordinary life. Her world spectacularly crumbles as middle-age meets unexpected grief, uncovering five decades of unrecognized mental health issues, buried behind unacknowledged self-destructive behaviors.

Stalked by Demons, Guarded by Angels: The Girl with the Eating Disorder is a window into the depths of dysfunction experienced through bulimia, anorexia, binge eating disorder, self-harm and suicidality. She is shocked to find herself voluntarily admitted into a psychiatric facility. Twice. Simone exposes intimate details of flawed relationships from her childhood that unwittingly instilled messages of self-loathing and inadequacy. Messages later reinforced by western society’s over-emphasis on the importance of beauty and thinness for women.
The key figures in her story are her grandmother, parents and siblings during her formative years, and her husband, children and intimate circle of close friends in her adult years. She explores these key relationships and how they shape her - for better and for worse - over the decades. Stalked by Demons, Guarded by Angels is a vulnerable insight into an often hidden world. It doesn’t pretend to answer all the questions or solve all the problems but instead attempts to elicit an understanding of behaviours many people might find inexplicable.
Simone’s journey into the world of psychological recovery is raw and personal, as full of relapse and regret as it is hope for the future. Her road to recovery is not a destination but rather, learning a new way of being. She leaves the reader with a vision of freedom from disordered eating - as she imagines it to be.
Not only is this memoir a personal account of living with bulimia nervosa, but women from all walks of life can relate to Simone's story of coming to terms with body image and womanhood in a western culture obsessed with beauty and youth.
"Well, I am on the floor. Stalked by Demons, Guarded by Angels is a devastating read. It was tough. I recognized so much of myself and so many women I know in the manuscript. It goes without saying that your writing is superlative; I very much enjoyed your writing style and using the present tense, first-person narrative was just perfect for the book. There are so many moments of beauty and pain. As I read, I wish I had a highlighter in my hand to mark up those words that resonated for me or gave me hope. It’s that kind of book."
